I didn't think it was possible to do that in a linked text file, John, because it doesn't have a primary key.

Now I am getting "updating data in a linked table not supported by this ISAM". The linked table is in the BE, and I have never seen this on before. Sigh. I guess I pull the queries into the BE and do it there. John W.

HTH Jim Hale -----Original Message----- From: John Colby [mailto:jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 1:14 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Update query broke I am trying to build an update query. I linked a text file, link that to tblMember on SSN, link that to another table tblFamily by PK/FK, pull out a field from the tblFamily and try to update it from data in a field in the linked text file. In the updateto area of the query I place [Address] which is the name of the address field in the linked text file. The query pops up a dialog asking for the value of [Address], as if there is no such address in the linked text file. I have only done this a million times before, but this time it doesn't work. Any suggestions short of random acts of violence? John W.
